Aidan Headly never wanted to be the man giving orders. That's fine with the Democratic State Force base he's been assigned to command: they don't like to take orders. Nicknamed the Wildcards, they used to be the most effective base against the seven Corporations owning the former United States in a war that has lasted over half a century. Now the Wildcards are known for creative insubordination, chaos, and commanders begging to be reassigned. Aidan is their last chance. If he can pull off his assignment as Commander and yank his ragtag crew of dreamers and fighters together, maybe they can get back to doing what they came to do: fighting for a country worth living in. Life's a bitch. She deals off the bottom of the deck. But you play the hands you're given. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

I love Aidan's struggle of being uncertain he's qualified to be a leader while having to step up and be a leader anyway.
What's great about the story is its focus on the strengths and vulnerabilities of its characters. Their struggle to build strong relationships, both professional and romantic, in a world that's stacked heavily against healthy relationships and themselves, is what makes the story compelling and has me looking forward to the next book.
The romantic part of the story is between two masculine presenting characters, which is rare enough in science fiction that I'm always happily surprised when I encounter it. Especially when it is as thoughtful and genuine as it is in "The Hands We're Given".
"The Hands We're Given" is a great story. If you've the time and opportunity, I recommend reading it. ( )
